My compliments to the artist. Interesting mechanics too with the four different attacks. Got some framerate stutters, but this could be a very compelling game with some optimization and polish.

Fantastic work on that part. I was getting a weird bug where the hit sound was playing once every frame or something silly like that when nothing was near me, it was all very weird and I'm not exactly sure what was going on!

The game runs other than that, though. I am not sure if there is a win condition, or if you just play forever in the modern stage. I did not get everything fully upgraded.\r\rIt would be nice if keeping the mouse held down would auto-fire weapons, since I might often click but the weapon would not work due to being on cooldown.\r\rHowever, the graphics are great, and the idea is very creative."},{"author_name":"Krz","author_uid":"47005","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 6:38pm","epoch":1418149980,"text":"Well that was not what I was expecting..
